Malawi has over the past years championed improved sanitation and hygiene which includes hand washing with soap at all critical times. Through the WASH programme UNICEF has supported the Government of Malawi implement the Open defecation (2010-2015) strategy and hand washing with soap (2011-2016) strategies to raise awareness and increase uptake of hygiene and sanitation in the country. According to the Malawi Demographic and Health Survey 2015-2016, 52% of Malawians have adopted improved sanitation while 31% of the population use facilities that would've been considered improved if it were not for sharing while 6% are still practising open defecation.

Integrate HWWS promotion in CLTS,

Ensure availability of hand washing facilities
